SToCKs-The stock market was more ac-
tive and feverish thar on any day so far
this week, and the tone of the speculation
underwent q violent change. Although
the bears succeeded in the forenoon in re-
cording lower prices than had been seen at
any previous time during the week, ru
mors were circulated that the government
would positively take som action looEiDg
to the relief of the money market and
Notwithstanding the argument OF the
bears that ST. 00, COO have been
taken up in Wall street this week
and that the banks are limiting their ac-
c~ommodations to an extent that seriously
interfeIes with business, and that q pur-
chase of at least so, 600. 600 of bonds by
the treasury would be necessary TO relieve
the stringency, the rumors brought IN new
buying, and a ~well-known firm when
have been steady sellers of late, turned
buyers, which had a very reassuring ef-
feet. The coal stocks were again most
conspicuous in dealings. Western Union,
New England, st. Paul, aud Richmond
and West Point, were active, but

and decidedly weak, declines from yesteT-
day ranging from to ;. Near noon mate
rial advances were made over the en-
tire list. After l o'clock the dull
ness became extreme and prices receded
slightly. The close was steady at near the
best figures of the day. Closing prices
show irregular changes, but the adj
vances are more numerous and important,
